Extra Credit: Coagula Cultorial

This extra credit gave me the wonderful opportunity to connect with my past, present, and future. On Saturday night, I was able to take my boyfriend to Downtown- but more specifically Chinatown. Growing up I had always gone to Chinatown with my aunt, cousins, grandparents and my parents and brother. We'd eat at a restaurant just around the corner from this small room with cool collective pieces of art. The drive to the art studio from Santa Monica was no biggie, although there was a Dodger game taking place. Finding the actual studio though was a bit rough. I had no idea it was behind more shops I had always driven by. Persistent and determined I finally found it. I  also circled at least 5 times because I was stubborn on not paying for parking. Paying for parking made me feel like I was paying for my grade/ extra credit. Once we got there, hand-in-hand we walked to this cute little pink shop.

Nonetheless, I loved being able to explore and showing a little bit of my past memories and nostalgia with my boyfriend leading up to finding the art exhibit. Once there I was relieved and surprised.. I was pleasantly surprised to see the amount of people there and my boyfriends reaction. He had never experience that side of LA let alone a little local art exhibit. HIs brother and his brother's girlfriend was also curious and thought it was cute and intriguingly interesting. Of all the painting, the blue sparkly one was my favorite. It reminded me of something I had learned in art class and tried to replicate. I am a Leo and usually horoscopes say Leo's are big and outlandish and love to be center of attention so it is only fitting that I love the most glitzy sparkly piece of work It was a nice way to end a Saturday night.
